If the attacks on Walz’s military record seem at all familiar, it’s because it’s being orchestrated by the same scumbag - Chris LaCivita - who ran the ‘swift boat’ smears against John Kerry.

LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens), the oldest and largest Latino civil rights organization in the US, has endorsed the Harris-Walz ticket.

In its 97 year history, this group has never before endorsed a presidential candidate. This is kind of a big deal.

Trump has said he didn't know Kamala is half black...like it's been some secret kept from him.

Now they are going after Walz's military service...like Corporal Bone Spurs has a dog in that fight.

Can you say "desperation"?

I'm just here for the meltdown. I want it to be public and loud. I am old and need some joy in my life.

^Yeah, about that -

I just hope his opponents don't adopt his habit of pinning derogatory nicknames to him or other opponents. It's juvenile, coarsens our discourse even more, and ought to be beneath them.

That's not to say I'm opposed to an opportunistic intracranial neuroblastoma.

One's racial background is of upmost importance for doltish repubs.

It's unfortunately important to a lot of people the world over, including non-Republican Americans, believe it or else.

Boy, is it ever a big deal - in theory at least. I suffered a lot of headaches banging my head against the wall in 2020 trying to incite my Hispanic associates here in Phoenix to vote. They just couldn't be motivated. Texas could be turned blue if they would get off their collective asses and vote.

I'm not familiar with this group so I have no idea how much influence they have in the Hispanic community but if they even motivate 5% of them, that would probably be plenty to swing Arizona blue. Even Texas would be on the table and that would change national politics here forever. Without Texas, The Republicans would have to massively reinvent themselves to survive.

From my personal observation, LULAC is much more weighty in California than Texas. As such, while their endorsement is great, it won't change much in the two largest Electoral College states, impo. I could well be wrong.

Based on some cursory web searches (I'd never heard of LULAC until I posted about it), I suspect you're correct. That said, the endorsement is likely to help eat into Trump's standing with Hispanics nationally, which is going to rattle him even more.
